“Pellets or crumbles”
Posted by TFG on November 9th, 2012
I’ve been giving serious thought to chicken ranching, and this kind of thing cracks me up: “What am I supposed to do, ask the chickens? How should I know? And why is there variety anyway?” The issue here for me would be the enormous volume of eggs. I can manage about two eggs per day, though I could wedge in a hard-boiled egg four or five days a week, which is about what, an hour of boiling, cooling, peeling, and containerizing for the icebox? Or…
Pickled eggs! With feral pigs feet! Gallon jar! I’ll become a McGuane novel.
I wouldn’t mind the ranching part, as long as the new hound is agreeable, if there someone to pay for the feed and take the extra output off my hands. Though I’m given to understand that the chicken egg can be coated with mineral oil and will remain edible for durn near a year.

TFG, If you are fairly close to some urbanites,do the free range thing,get some hens that lay brown eggs,throw a few Bantys and Fighting Games in for variety,you’ll be doing the “Green” thing,might even get a grant to handle the organic chicken shit.You might want to watch that new dog,I would bet she or he is like my cur dogs,and will help control an over population of gospel birds.
